NJHS

E was tapped into the National Junior Honor Society today.  This is the first year they have had it in the middle school.  We got a letter a few days ago about it and that it was to be a surprise to the students being tapped.

I tried to encourage E to wear something other than her usual tee shirt and sweatshirt, but she was getting suspicious so I didn't push it.
One of the other parent's said that they told their daughter before they read the last paragraph in the letter.  At least she smiled for the picture (while she was grunting "go away").  At what age do parents stop being an embarrassment to their children?
